visualcv.com review

Visual CV is a website for automatic resume creation or, in other words, resume builder. Here you don’t need to place an order and pay the writer – you create the CV yourself using the online tool. This website with modern design offers the opportunity to publish your resume online, send it to employees and track the progress. The whole process seemed very exciting for me, so I decided to give it a try.

Price policy

Registration on the site is free of charge. You don’t have to pay for using the basic functions of the site; however, to use all its advantages, you will need a paid subscription.

The process

I started with uploading my old resume. Then, with the help of the site I transformed it into a new one using their online tool. I edited it, replaced some sections and updated by adding some extra information. As a result, I got a well-structured colored resume which looked professional and attractive. I didn’t know if I needed to create an online profile – in all job ads I looked through the employers still wanted to get a resume to their email. Moreover, after I read some online samples I realized that my resume needed something bigger than a makeover.

Conclusion

So, I came to a decision that any online tool can replace a professional writer who works on the entire resume, not on the design only. As I didn’t have much time, I ordered resume and cover letter writing on http://cvresumewritingservices.org (by the way, the online builder doesn’t offer letter services). Should you use this website? I think it depends on your goals. If you create an online resume with good design just in case, I think it won’t do you any harm. However, if you’re actively searching for a new employment, it’s better to seek professional help.
